High Tide Aquatics

Coral Farmers’ Market announced for Feb 10, 2018!

It's probably a good thing that you didn't buy the mushroom, Mark. Most hi-lighter pink mushrooms are just bleached shrooms.
 
They expel their zooanthellae which gives them that highlighter look. Corals for the most part rely on zooanthellae to provide them with the nutrition to sustain them and grow. The colors that you see on the coral tissue is from the zooanthellae. Most of the light pinks that you see are bleached and will eventually die and even if they don't once they recover their zooanthellae, they end up looking a different color (that hi-lighter pink mushroom is most likely either brown or orange originally).
 
These are the clown that we are donating.

It can also be induced, odd color that is. Exporters, the shifty kind, have learned certain chemicals will "bleach" nems and such a odd pastel color for a bit, usually they die not long after. Ammonia exposure in holding/shipping can do it as well.

I also didn't like the fact that Steve asked so much of BAR and Neptune at the event, but never really acknowledged or incentivized the club/local resources for the assistance.

Which is exactly what BAYMAC was designed to do, support the clubs :)
